About this listen

In this hilariously off-the-rails episode of Zeo to Hero, Billy and Jim sit down with friend, collector, and podcaster Cubby Collects—returning for his third chaotic round! From bulk Costco buys and parenting nerdy kids to Stranger Things theories and loungefly bag obsessions, this episode goes in every direction imaginable.

Cubby shares the story behind launching his podcast Cubby Chats, discusses recent toy pickups, and drops some wild Stranger Things theories (Will is a horcrux, anyone?). The crew also dives into:

  • Marvel and DC movie talk (yes, even Wonder Woman '84)
  • Their mixed emotions about Ironheart, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Fantastic Four
  • Collecting SH Figuarts, Funkos, and dangerously expensive anime merch
  • Texas malls, black-out tinting, and 30-something aches and pains
  • What it's like raising geeky kids and crying over Anakin's turn to Vader

It’s a blend of pop culture deep dives, dad energy, and neurodivergent hilarity—plus a pitch for a new podcast intro: “TISM!”
